Kanata refuses to celebrate Children's Day because he believes flying carp kites are dangerous after one attacked him in the past. Although his father claimed the kite was cursed, this was likely untrue. During this time, Kanata encounters two extraterrestrial visitors from planet Koinobori. These aliens are searching for their mother. The episode focuses on Kanata's reluctance to participate in the holiday festivities due to his traumatic memory. It also introduces the alien characters and their quest. The narrative contrasts Kanata's fear with the innocent nature of the holiday and the aliens' situation. No additional plot details are provided in the source material regarding the resolution of these events or the aliens' fate.
